Rebecca St. James Pre-Born Child Concert
Lets Welcome the Australian singer and actress for a night of music, ministry, and a showing of the feature film Sara's Choice. Rebecca is partnering with Care Centers across the nation in the fight for the unborn. This evening promises inspirational music, an incredible testimony, and a moving film sure to warm your heart. We are proud to partner with her ministry. Rebecca St. James, a Golden Globe winner, remains charmingly unconventional. In between performing 200 concerts per year, she hangs out with friends at church, nurtures an incredible family bond with her parents and six siblings, and does life in the modern world, filtering it through her faith, just like her fans do. One week may find her on stage at a Franklin Graham Crusade, the next feeding animals at her family's farm outside Nashville, and the next back Down Under, volunteering behind the counter at a student coffeehouse. TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE THE DAY OF THE EVENT AT THE VENUE FOR $20.00
NIGHTLIGHTS TOUR
Jimmy Needham at Lakeview Baptist Church in Belton Texas w/ Echoing Angels and Jason Gray. Jimmy Needham refuses to compartmentalize his life. His music, his faith, his calling are so inextricably intertwined, it is impossible to decipher where one stops and another begins. It is this fusion of temporal life with eternal values that dresses his faith in flesh. It’s a connection between the intangible spirit and corporeal expectations of this workaday world that imbue his music with a raw emotional transparency that crosses boundaries, cuts through bonds, pricks the conscience, and ultimately nestles softly in listeners’ hearts.
Justin Rivers and Jason Baird share a passion for music and a deep desire to spread the Gospel. Combining their gifts to form Austins Bridge, the guys are doing just that with an innovative flair that blends Southern Gospel, country and a touch of bluegrass into a soulful new sound. The groups much-anticipated sophomore record, produced by Jay Demarcus of Rascal Flatts, releases May 4, 2010.
